August Long Weekend TRIPLE Header?

[haniforama]

Anyone up for three events in a row?

Saturday July 30th - CASC-OR Autoslalom Regional Event # 6 hosted by TAC at the Brampton Centre

Sunday July 31st - SCCA-Detroit Region Firecracker SOLO II at the Visteon Plant in Ypsilanti Michigan

Monday August 1st - WOSCA Lapping event at Waterford Hills.

I've going and there are possibly 2 HADA guys joining in. Any other SOLO freaks interested? SPDA guys by any chance?

I've got a room booked at the Hampton Inn about 5 minutes from the Detroit SOLO II venue and can book additonal rooms for $100USD a night ($50 USD per person if you share). Let me know.

I'll be in PEI

[haniforama]

I've been told the Visteon plant is quite a good venue...

[Marsh]

Oooo, I didn't know about the solo-2. Damn, too bad about the SCCA stock wheel thing.

[Taylor]

Marsh: Agreed.. hence my hesistation. I'd like to go, but I want to be competitive. I'd get killed in the Civic (128hp)..

I dunno I have some 205's maybe I could mount them to some of my ITR wheels.

[haniforama]

They have street tire classes as well...

[Marsh]

HAH! My street tires are even more illegal than my race tires. The race rims are only off on the width, and even then only by 1". The street tires are off on width, offset, and diameter. The latter by 2 inches. Were there any 13 x 6" factory option rims for the DX in 92?

[Taylor]

They have street tire classes as well... mmm understeer..

[Marsh]

BTW Clarkston Motor-Inn is the closest motel to the track. Clean rooms and reasonable rates:

I've been thinking about it...... :D

But my triple header would include the SPDA Targa event on the Monday.

I'm staying closer to the SOLO II site since the starting time on Sunday is 1.5 hours earlier than on Monday.

I'm at hotel (http://www.hamptoninn.com/en/hp/hotels/index.jhtml?ctyhocn=ARBVWHX).

[haniforama]

BTW: I had the pricing wrong in my first post - it has been updated.

[101rs]

You have a point - it's business as usual for them I guess...

Good luck to all of ya's! You should sport some Canadian flags on the cars.... :)

I'll tag along one day....if I can bother to make my car SM2 legal.....

[Marsh]

Yea, I'm currious what they'll do with an HS car running non stock wheels?

If its got non stock wheels its not an HS car down there......

Bingo... however, when we went to Batavia last year, I asked them what class i should be in because of this (root class being DS), and they said not to worry about it and let me compete in DS.

That's what I'm kinda hoping for, since I'm only on 6's. But I think Detroit is really sticky about rules.

[thekid]

For the Detroit event I attended I just ran in the Street TIre class, STX in my case, STS in yours I would assume.

[haniforama]

CSP or STR I believe...

Why not squeeze your 13" tires onto a set of OE wheels for the weekend?

[Marsh]

My tire guy was upset about cramming them on to 6" wheels. I think he'll refuse to even try stuffing them onto 5" rims! :eek:

The more likely option is don't go. A triple header is not my idea of fun anyway. I'll be misserable by Monday.

Whatever Marsh!! You know you want in..... ;) :D

I'll be quite the opposite :D

[haniforama]

BTW: I've got a copy of the 2005 Solo Rules from the SCCA.

It's a 10Mb file so don't expect immediate delivery but I can send it out to a few serious people.

Hanif

[gatherer]

isn't it on the SCCA website?

[haniforama]

isn't it on the SCCA website?

You are correct Sir! I thought they used to charge a fee for it?

Anyway here is the RULE BOOK (http://www.scca.org/_filelibrary/File/2005SoloRules.pdf).

[gatherer]

the online rulebook is new this season

[13inches]

You still gotta have a paper copy when you register.......

If you send it to me, I can host it... If that's legal?

[Tony Kloosterma]

Who else is coming

Tony

[haniforama]

Hey Mike - it looks like we scared away the americans from SM.

Only 3 left and all from Ontario!

Hrmpf.

[101rs]

They must remember us from last year :cool:
maybe we should bring a set of street tires and run TSM...there are 13 people in that class.

either way, I look forward to running against the white beast once again.

[haniforama]

I'm looking forward to the battle!

BTW: There is a 2000 Elise registered as well (co-driven)!
